  • Prescribed burn in Kenna Cartwright Park starts today

  • Open burning season begins in the Central Okanagan

    Open burning season in the Central Okanagan got underway Thursday, Oct. 1.

    In order to reduce the impact on our air shed, open burning is restricted to those property owners that are eligible and have a permit from their local fire authority and only when air quality and venting conditions are appropriate. 

    Under Regional District and local fire bylaws when the fire hazard allows, permitted open burning may start Oct. 1 and must be complete on April 30.
  • MP Report for Okanagan-Coquihalla: Invasive species can be costly to the environment & taxpayer

    Regional Growth Strategy
    Council agreed not to accept the Regional District of Central Okanagan’s Regional Growth (RGS) Strategy due to concerns with requirements for professional studies that the District does not currently require in its Official Community Plan (OCP). Since OCPs must be consistent with the RGS, this requirement could trigger amendments to existing West Kelowna bylaws.
